Rethinking Rewards

Today is the day to rocket propel into the week! A holiday for most in the states, Martin Luther King Junior day signifies a day of equality and freedom for all… On that note, it’s time to take control and allow yourself the right to be as healthy as anyone else by using Reshape the Nation! Reshape the Nation is the weight loss program the Chris Powell developed to help his buddy David Smith lose over 400 lbs!

Following a high-carb weekend, using the Reshape meal plan, is a lower-carb day. If you kept reward foods in your kitchen and hiding places over the weekend, now is the time to dispose of them. Remember that it’s hard for anyone to say “no” when the goods are in-house, ready to scavenge. Anyone and everyone has a hard time saying no to high fat and sugar items if they currently reside in your home.

Reward foods are just that, rewards. Rethinking rewards will help your journey to losing weight be more successful. I know the feeling of losing weight or sticking to a certain diet regimen can bring thoughts of rewards in the form of food items with it. The problem with using food as a reward is that it comes with a cost of calories; extra calories aiding in a less successful weight loss venture.

Think about rewarding your weight loss efforts with tangible, non-caloric items or products. Success with any diet and exercise regimen is surrounded by a lifestyle steeped in things without calories! Think about rewarding yourself with treats that require time and energy; things like a round of golf, pedicure, new book, album, or something of the like. I have a friend who rewards her exercise efforts with handbags, one mile of running equaling one dollar! She has purchased one Gucci handbag and is working on her second, good for her!

Get creative with your exercise and diet rewards! Throw away your reward foods from reward days, and start your week off right, set yourself free! Jet propel yourself to weight loss success!
